Three Major Issues

Accelerated consumption of fossil fuels

Global development of industry & technology in the 21st century

1. Energy

Population growth (in USA, Asia, etc.) Growing number of motor vehicles

2. CO2 (global warming measures)

3. Air quality

Improvements Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive vs. THS:
+ 8% petrol power: 53 kW 57 kW + 50% electric power: 33 kW 50 kW + 14 % electric torque: 350 Nm 400 Nm over a 3 x wider range

Substantial increase in contribution of electric motor Higher voltage to electric motor/generator: 273,6 V 500 V
superior power minimised electrical losses

Enhanced charging capacity of generator: more power and speed

33,8 kW 37,8 kW 6,500 10,000 rpm

Newly developed battery pack

more compact and lighter (-30%) superior output density improved charge and discharge capacity
